Columbus Cooper tells a good anecdote apropos of his feelings about the cutting down of the shade trees along the business part of P. rry street. He says once up on a time a relative of his was fool ing with an old shot-gun, when it was discharged. The ram-rod was in the gun and it split the young man's nose when the gun went off. He was vain of his beauty, and the splitting of his nose considerably disfigured his facial appearance. Going to the mirror one day he surveyed himself carefully, then turning to his father, with sup pressed emotion, asked: “Pa, do you think I’ll be as pretty as 1 was when 1 get well ?” His father looked at his son with a good-hu mored frowu on his face and re plied: “No, son, you’ll not be as pretty, but you’ll have a d d sight more souse.” It is needless to add that Mr. Cooper gave hi* consent to the cutting down of the shade trees in front of his store, but that was on a cool morning. When he related the above inci dent it was about 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and hot as blazes, the thermometer registering about 88 in the shade of the metal awning in front of his store. LOST. On day the corner stone of the Baptist church was laid the under signed lost an umbrella with a “W” on tjie side of the handle and an “E” on the end. Finder will be rewarded. Return to H. A. Hodges.

Annexing Loganville- It seems that the effort of some of Walton’s over-zealous friends at Winder in having the line between Gwinnett and Walton re-surveyed in the hope of throwing some of Gwinnett’s soil to the Walton side is about tc “kick backwards.” The survey, so far as it has progressed, has been to the advantage of Gwin nett, and if the base hue beiug surveyed, should be established as the permanent line, Gwinnett will gain about 14,000 acres of territo ry heretofore accredited to Wal ton. The base line has been estab lished as far as Loganville, and throws that enterprising little city entirely on the Gwinnett, side of the map. Loganvilie has, ever since the railroad was finished, longed to be attached to the good old county of Gwinnett, and now it seems that her hopes are about to be realized in an unexpected manner. Gwinnett gladly throws wide her arms and welcomes the new terri tory into the fold. While inclined to oppose the annexation of the Philippine islands, The News-Her ald is a red-hot expansionist when it comes to taking in any good thing offered by our sister county of Walton.
